crash when loading file - date related

[Risto Paasila]

David,

I rolled forward again, so now I have:
Information about 6384 packages read in 0 seconds.
  i   gnucash2         2.2.2-105    Financial-accounting software
  i   gnucash2-docs    2.2.0-2      Help files/documentation for  
gnucash2
  i   gnucash2-shlibs  2.2.2-105    Financial-accounting software

Then I went in and disabled the scheduled transactions like you  
suggested,
and now I was able to open the file without a problem.

Thank you very much.

Risto
